Sort through materials, keeping only the essential
items needed to complete tasks. (This action involves going through all the contents of a Seiri Sort workspace to determine which are needed and which can be removed. Everything that is not used to complete a work process should leave the work area.)
Ensure that all items are organized and each item
has a designated place. Organize all the items left in the workplace in a logical way so they make Seiton Set in Order tasks easier for workers to complete. This often involves placing items in ergonomic locations where people will not need to bend or make extra movements to reach them.
Proactive efforts to keep workplace areas clean and
orderly to ensure purpose-driven work. This means cleaning and maintaining the newly organized Seiso Shine workspace. It can involve routine tasks such as mopping, dusting, etc. or performing maintenance on machinery, tools, and other equipment.
Create a set of standards for both organization and
processes. In essence, this is where you take the Seiketsu Standardize first three S's and make rules for how and when these tasks will be performed. These standards can involve schedules, charts, lists, etc.
Sustain new practices and conduct audits to
maintain discipline. This means the previous four Shitsuke Sustain S's must be continued over time. This is achieved by developing a sense of self-discipline in employees who will participate in 5S.
